bidding f~arewells to the people.
Good. bye, Grover, old boy, good

he and other expressions OF glad greeting.
hort stops were made at Winont, Lake

At $50 p. m. a laundering salute an

through the mob by pressure OF the crowd

iormed in front OF the building.
Here it was that the presidents stolidi.

The carriage had been drawn up in line

On arriving at the Ryan Hotel, there
WAS another vast crowd. Mayor Robert

to which the president responded. He re-
serred to the famous prophecy OF Mr.. Sew
ard, to the growth and beauty Of the city,
etc.
He said: / want to suggest to you a
reason why / am particularly and person

Of our present visit, and thus viii ourioint
interest in ST. Paul and it's kind citizens
be increased and perpetuated.
The Presidential party were then shown
to their rooms, which we're superbly deco
rated.
In the evening all st. Paul was on the
streets, and IL is estimated that least two
thirds Of st. Paul was concentrated on
Third street. To say that Third
street was packel fails to CON
vey the true state OF things.
The streets were filed with people from
one side to the other, and so thickly
were spectators clustered in windows and
on roofs and signs and other points OF
vantage that the faces OF the buildings
seemed half covered with people. People
were everywhere. The crush that followed
was something terrific, and the wonder is
that many people were nothurt. When the
presidents carriage, heading the process.
sion, reached upper Third street the crush
became greatest, and the only really DIS
orderly period Of the entire evenig occurred.
1t was a big crowd, an orderly crowd, and
Q good looking clean.cut crowd, such as
Minnesota, Dakota and Wisconsin can
turn out. Dakota sent d very large con
~tingert to join ia che welcome to Presid enc

and wife. At 7:30 p. M. the. party lett the

the blazing streets TO the reviewing stand

100 toboggan clubs. accompanied by the

Third street was one compact body q
people as far as the eye could reach, and
Nahasha street was also thronged Tor
several blocks. The president seemed al.
most dazed as be gazed on the hilarious
scene, as this was the most favor-

Viewing the people. A smile played about
